OUR COUNTY AGENT'S DEPARTMENT
Seme Timely Talks to Polk County Farmers, and others on Timely Sub
jects, by County Agent, J. R. Sams.
f0 Polk County Farmers. Our Fairs
and Their Importance.
Vho should be in favor of and
work to make our community
fairs a success this fall? Is it
jll a matter "for the farmer
alone? Is the farmer the only
party in Polk county to be
benefitted -by the influence good
fairs will have on the fufure
ffell being of the county? Nay,
verily; on the contrary the suc
cess of every merchant and
bank in Polk county depends al
most entirely on the buying
power of the farmer, and the
buying power of the farmer de
pends on what he makes and
properly prepares for .market
and the manner in which he
puts his products on the mar
ket. I am aware of the fact that
crops this fall will be short and
in a measure inferior. For
this very reason they should be
marketed in the best possible
manner. -
Farmers in every township
should study the premium lists
and do their level best to make
good exhibits on the following,
first of all, corn is one 4f the
most important crcps grown.
So every farm should put on the
hest corn exhibit possible. 2nd,
Sweet and Irish potatoes should
receive wide consideration.
Classing and grading of these
crops should be studied well.
Large over grown potatoes
should not be put on the fair,
only as a curiosity which teaches
nothing. The kind of potatoes,
of either kind is the kind you
would like to buy on the market.
Every body knows that kind, so
pick smooth medium size pota
toes, true to type. 3rd, Let
every farm in Polk county make
an exhibit of eggs. There is no
more important line, of farm
products than eggs, and they
should be shown by the thousand
at every fair. Some people
think "eggs is eggs", eggs are
?gs it is true; but some are
fresh and sound, and some are
old and rotten and some are slick
and go between. Soaring out
your eggs and let us study how
to treat eggs so as to get the
St Drice fnr ih

o do your best to make the
jest sorghum syrup in all your
Jfe and bring some good samples

by .the women and girls will be
a matter of joy and pride for
the men of the county to look
upon. 10th, Garden products
must not be neglected. The
home garden on thefarm means
living at home and boarding at
the same place, and a surplus
for the poor cousins in the
town.
Now who should cooperate in
making these fairs a sucess?
First of all, the farmer himself
should have pride enough in his
business to take the lead, and
the banks and business men
should give every encouragement
and on the days of these fairs
next October. They should visit
them in crowds and show their
apprecation of the effort the
farmers and their wives of the
county are making to create
business on which these institu
tion will , either grow poor or
fat as the result of the farmers
sucess or failure. Now farmers,
don't think the winning of a
prize in the fair is the big thing.
The learning how to produce the
best possible ;and then how to
prepare it for the market in a
way to get the best price to en
able the wife and children jn
the home to enjoy the most and
best home comfort is the big
thing to work for.
